That's two recs for Henry's Hunan. Just sayin'. Forgot about San Jose Taqueria - that place is also bomb. Good call!
San Tung's Chicken Wings are teh shit. Not worth the wait probably though. And he's solo so that's no good.
Blazing - You are the only other person I have ever known who knows of San Jose Tacqueria - and Hunan to boot! Nice!
There are also tons of restaurants and nightlife in Berkley around the Clairmont hotel (can't remember street address). (This data is at least 3 years old, have not been there in a while). My favorite restaurant in the entire bay area is Sol Foods in San Rafael, if you like Puerto Rican cuisine - it is great. * - Both of these are out of SF proper, east bay and Marin county, respectively.
To be fair, I have an aunt/uncle that lived in the city for 4 decades. They had no kids, so they were out in the city living it up for years. They know a ton of good spots. When I'd visit in HS and college, I'd explore by myself, tell them the area I was going to check out, and they'd make some recommendations to check out. They took me a lot of cool places too. Park Chow is another solid restaurant with a variety of menu options. If you like German food and plan to be near the Haight, check out Suppenküche.
Go to Haight-Ashbury the Red Victorian. The price is very reasonable and the rooms are very cool! It was designed by an old Hippie Sami Sunchild! https://embassynetwork.com/locations/redvic/stay/
Isn't that area Ghetto as fuck though? I mean there are bohemian areas, but its pretty fucking far from anything if you're relying on public transport and taxis?
It's not that bad and the public transportation is easy anywhere in Frisco https://www.google.com/maps/search/...on/@37.7699937,-122.4448403,16z/data=!3m1!4b1
The Haight is on a couple of main bus routes and close to Golden Gate Park. There's a lot to do and see in the Haight, and it's reasonably convenient. That being said, I didn't enjoy my evenings as much when we stayed in the Haight. Being on the edge was cool cuz we could get out in the evening and easily get to transit without being hit up for hard drugs (buying and selling), but we weren't as fortunate the time we stayed right up in it.
We actually were walking distance from some crazy cool places. Definitely advise taking a taxi at night. I wouldn't want to get mugged, which would be everywhere in Frisco at nighttime! Hahaha Haight is such a beautiful place, much like a glorified Hawthorn District. A lot of culture and historical spots to see. The closer you go to the bay, the more expensive it gets. I think the Red Inn is roughly $130-150 a night. Staying at the Marriott in Union is like $280-350 a night.
The Red Vic in the Haight is a good recommendation. In Berkeley, I vote Blondies Pizza and Top Dog for cheap eats.
Yeah, I could fly down there and back for about $115 RT. might do it, although SF isn't my favorite city, a change of pace would be nice.
Haha the sale for me wasn't much different than what I was seeing at expedia. they were only offering like an 8 am flight which won't work for me haha
Yeah, El-P. Mags is Asian. He fits right at home in SF, so they won't harass him too much - they'll assume he's just another crazy local streetwalker.
